Default Why I Love Owning a Z

So today after reading the best compliments thread I really got to thinking about how much I love owning my Z and want to compile a list of reasons why I love it so much! Feel free to join!

-It puts a smile on my face every time I see it
-I like knowing that I am in a "society" of other enthusiasts who share the same love for their Z as me
-The car handles like a dream
-I have never once not felt completely safe while driving my Z (got caught in a food / hail storm)
-I have been able to get out of some potentially tight situations which makes me respect the power of this car that much more
-It is affordable so I can add aftermarket parts if I desire
-I always get compliments on my car
-Whenever I hear, "I think that's the guy with the Z," I can't help but smile
-This car is just a pleasure to drive and I am so proud to own one

I could go on and on about how much I love the car but I figure that i'll spare the readers! My Z will be remembered forever

OP, the angry mob has spoken.

You may enjoy your car, but it appears we do not share your sentiment.

Build yourself an Amuse 370z, then we will all have to STFU again immediately.

jk... actually not really. the Amuse 370 IS redonk nice.

I knew I would like it but never thought I would love it as much as I do.. I feel the exact same way and owning a Roadster puts me that much more in touch with the elements.. The sound, nature, and the thumbs up.
I love my Z.

i don't know why, but the Z has a very ahead of it's time design if you will. The lines, the modest silver touches on the handles etc.. I always get asked what year my car is.. i tell them 04 (exterior 07) and they are like " it doesn't look that old at all". The car has room for improvements, but the one thing it does consistently well, is turn heads.

I don't know if I agree that it looks like a frog, but at least it doesn't look like a dog taking a dump (like the Chrysler Crossfire from the back).

+1! I get that all the time too, my Z is also an 04. Anyone else also love it because it has only two seats?
